THE SUNDAY LECTIONARY WITH THE FATHERS AND THE CHURCH

This resource page is offered to all Catholic clergy who preach at the Sunday Mass. To be sure, these resources can be found elsewhere. But to find and collate them takes time - time that a busy bishop, parish priest or deacon often does not have. Frequently too, other web sites give incorrect or even misleading references. I have taken care to double check each link and its association. Finally, each link will take you directly to the information, without having to dig through several layers of web pages.
What we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake (2 Cor 4:5)
